Hi All,
I'm sure this little nugget has appeared before, but can anyone say they is a definitive answer to the question about Legionary markings. Anyone who collects figures or wargames knows of the excellent transfers produced by Steve at Little bigmen studios. On those he has represented 3rd Century Romans of Ulpia Traina with the laurel, Legio II Augusta with the Capricorn etc. There is evidence to suggest that the capricorn was in use with Legio II since Augustan times. I know the Boar was Legio XX, but does anyone know of any more that can be linked? What I really want to ascertain is whether it would be fair to assume that these insignia would have been used 1st/2nd cent. on shields.
Thanks
